KRISTINE’S MUSINGS
Guided By the Heart
My musings speak for my heart. They speak for my past, present, future. They speak the words and feelings that are both mine and my clients; intertwining them into the oneness that we are through pleasure, pain, and expression. They come from a place deep within my body that my mind cannot touch. They come forward in an instance forcing me to pull my car over so that they may be written on the scrap of paper I find between the seats. They are unedited, unrehearsed, emotional and freeing. They have shown up throughout my life as moments of inspiration and as of today they are taking over as the truth of what is here for me, you, us. I invite you too to discover or build upon your own means of sharing what your heart most wants to say. Do It. Through writing, dancing, painting, running…whatever… just Do It. Begin to allow what lies deep within your being, that you may have only had glimpses of, to show up more intensely to guide your way!
Anxiety Is Destroying Our Families
Our anxiety is sending
A mixed message
To our kids
And it is driving them
Crazy
Parents- Stop This, Start That
Children are looking to you
For guidance
Boundaries
Direction
They need that to feel safe
Teenagers- Not Who You Think They Are!
I don’t agree
I don’t buy the story
I don’t relate to the message
That our teenagers are going to fight us
She Enjoyed Who She Was Becoming
She felt so beautiful
As she gazed in the mirror
Noticing the hints
Of eye shadow
Blush
My Body Is Beautiful, So Is Yours
Feeling beautiful
Makes the weight
Melt away
Makes your body
Come alive
Teenagers… They are Amazing
I hear her
She hears me
As we discuss
What works for us both
School Shootings- Will It Be My Fault
Will it be my fault
If they don’t come home
From the very place
We call school
That is now a warzone
Shopping With My Teenager
As I noticed
I was no longer with the young girl
Who would hold on to the side of the cart
With a lollipop
Dangling from her lips
Our Words Shape Their Perspective
Do we even think about
What we are saying
Or is it just so common
To complain
To compare
Children Don’t See Difference
What they see
Is what we show them
By what we point out
What we comment on
What we move toward
My Beautiful Teenage Girl
I know you are confused
I recognize how challenging
Life may seem
I am here
If you need to talk
You are being demanding
Sorry bud…
You are right
I shouldn’t be speaking this way to you
Thank you for bringing it to my attention
Let’s try that again
